Game Engine Design

Dr. Shaun Ramsey, George Essig ‘13 and Otto Borden ‘13 are creating a 3D game engine and world with multiplayer networking capabilities. Software development with several engineers requires careful planning, communication, coordination and resources. The development cycle frequently consists of planning, coding, testing, and refinement with frequent visits back to paper and the board for planning.

The undergraduate students in Dr. Amick’s laboratory are designing new palladium-catalyzed reactions for organic synthesis. The new reactions they design will be employed to synthesize large flat and bowl-shaped molecules, which can be used in nanotechnology, organic electronics, and organic photovoltaics (solar cells).

Eshan Patel ’13 and Victoria Ruff ’14 spent their summer working with Assistant Professor of Biology Mindy Reynolds researching the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic effects of coexposure to nickel and cobalt.
